Animal euthanasia is the humane and intentional act of ending an animal's life to relieve suffering caused by illness, injury, or age-related decline. Performed by a licensed veterinarian, the procedure is quick, painless, and carried out with compassion to ensure the animal’s comfort and dignity in its final moments.
